I Am Appalled
With two p’s.*
*(Incidentally, does anybody remember what that’s a quote from? Is it L.A. Story? The straight-line is something like “Hi, I’m Sandee, with two e’s.”)**
**Yes, this diversion into Hollywood-based lightheartedness is an attempt to deny the fact that I’m living in a state presumably led by the Governator. Or the Gropenator. Depending upon which pundit you favor.

Her name is “SanDeE*.” The line is “big S, small a, small n, big D, small e, big E… with a star!” Thank you, internet.

But is Steve Martin still the one who is appalled, with two p’s? Or is that somebody else?

I’m pretty sure it was Steve, yes. I’m having more trouble getting confirmation from the internet on this one, though.

It’s from Bloom County. Milo said it to his dad’s new girlfriend!

That’s IT!!! A mere two and a half years later, and I can finally stop wondering about this one.
